In an effort to recover from two decades in Hunter Thompson's "cheap plastic hallway" - network TV news, specifically - I hung out my shingle as a storyteller. I covered my share of medical stories as a TV news field producer, and used healthcare as part of my standup comedy set. When I got a cancer diagnosis five days before Christmas, I used my research, communication, and comedy skills to navigate treatment, and wrote “Cancer for Christmas: Making the Most of a Daunting Gift” about managing medical care, and the importance of health literate self-advocacy. I write, I speak, I facilitate the Festivus Airing of Grievances in healthcare. My favorite people to work with are those who want to fix the system, not serve the status quo.
